The calendar of ancient Egypt is reconstructed using the latest research from calendars found inscribed in temples or written on papyrus.  Its festival days, good and combative, are documented in several archaeological and literary sources. The calendar is calibrated with the Heliacal rising of spdt (Sirius) that establishes the opening of the year (wpt rnpt) over the ancient Capital of mn nfr (Memphis) as it was traditionally established in the Early Dynastic period, c. 2773 BCE.
